NHTSA complaint #10499891, filed 2013-02, 90,156 miles“I bought a 2007 Tahoe with a mileage of just over 77k, the low oil light came on just as the first oil change was due(3k miles). It was approximately a quart low. The dealership I bought it it had just changed the oil so I thought, maybe they just didnt put enough in.

I put more oil in and changed again at 83086. At 86147 light came on again and was 1 1/4 qts low, so I added more oil. …”
NHTSA complaint #10444716, filed 2012-01, 83,086 miles“We have had several problems with this vehicle. We've had tires replaced twice, rotors, and brakes resurfaced, and rear-end dropped so the springs could be adjusted. But the biggest problem has been with the roaring in the motor. The dealership has had the vehicle for more than 20 days on and off looking for this noise. I've had it to them 8 times or so trying to find it. The noise didn't start until around 3,000 miles, and gets worse and easier to duplicate with more miles. …”
